Shiʿi Studies in Focus is a collaboration between the Project on Shiʿism and Global Affairs of Harvard Divinity School and the Shiʿi Studies Unit of The Institute of Ismaili Studies. It is aimed at taking stock of developments in the field of Shiʿi studies internationally. By bringing together trailblazers in the field who played key role in turning Shiʿi Studies into an important field within the wider Islamic and religious studies, this programme endeavours to share their experience with students, scholars, academic institutions, and organisations who want to be important players in its development in the future.
